My understanding is that it's only once as the "when attacked" trigger is only fulfilled at the beginning of the battle.

um, no, not really, as gates of hell operates pretty much the exact same way.

They are not the same. Gates says "at any time" while the Outpost says "when attacked." "When attacked" has already been defined as the beginning of a battle phase and should seem logical. I would assume that you could use the Outpost a second time if a new battle begins

From a literal perspective, I would think that if your opponent started a side battle, that would be a new attack, but if you started a side battle, then you would be attacking, so Outpost would not be triggered. Certainly a whole new battle (i.e. Grapes or Long Day) would warrant a new activation.

I am curious what others think of the side battle idea. 

i didnt mean goh and po function the same. i was just responding how the outcome is similiar to goh as it tutors for evil characters...so it probably wouldnt be errata'd if it allowed you to spam phillistines, as goh has demonstrated to us that spamming demons isnt 'broken'.

and...you dont have to discard anything out of your deck everytime you use po? actually, its probably far more deck-intensive than goh, as goh has ways of getting free demons (ie bronze laver).
